Famous Across the Nation! Everyone Knows His Name!
"Xiao Chen, why aren't you asleep yet?"
While Lin Zichen was listening to Liu Chuanwu's voice message, Shen Qinghan was sleeping in his arms, woke up.
I wasn't woken up by noise; I woke up naturally.
"I'm not sleepy yet, I'll sleep later."
"Then I won't sleep either."
Shen Qinghan got up, turned on the light, and picked up her phone to keep Lin Zichen company while he stayed up all night.
Lin Zichen said to her gently, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep first. There's no need for you to stay up all night with me."
"It's okay, we're on holiday anyway, I can sleep in as late as I want tomorrow."
As Shen Qinghan spoke, she opened a video app to watch a web series.
It's a legitimate web series.
This is not an educational anime film from the Sakura Sea Nation.
Lin Zichen glanced at it.
Seeing that Shen Qinghan wasn't watching educational anime but instead was watching a proper ancient Nine Provinces palace drama, he couldn't help but sigh, "This Little Dirty Girl isn't watching educational stuff anymore; my youth is over."
"You're the one who's dirty-minded!"
Shen Qinghan rolled her eyes at Lin Zichen, took out her earphones, put them on, and ignored this annoying guy.
Lin Zichen moved closer to her to watch the show together.
After watching for a while, I felt it was too much like a female-oriented show and didn't really suit my taste, so I stopped watching.
Instead, I opened the school app and browsed the Exotic Beast section of the Credit Mall to see if there were any new Exotic Beast Meat available.
I browsed around and saw that the Nine-Turn Soul Worm Meat, which was recently available and in high demand, is now in much larger quantities and at a much lower price.
The price I saw last time was 50 Credit per pound.
The current price has dropped to 40 Credit per kilogram.
I got a 20% discount.
If all goes as expected, they should have found a habitat for the Nine-Turn Soul Worm, leading to a significant increase in production.
Looking at the Nine-Turn Soul Worm Meat in the mall, Lin Zichen suddenly thought of a question.
The product details for Nine-Turn Soul Worm Meat indicate that the Nine-Turn Soul Worm is a newly discovered Exotic Beast from the Origin Land, and its quantity is extremely limited.
However, during the day, while devouring the corpses of the Masked Man and the Hunchbacked Masked Man, it also absorbed a large amount of the Life Origin of the Nine-Turn Soul Worm.
Integrating a large amount of alien Exotic Beast genes into one's body is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
This is a massive project spanning an extremely long period of time.
It could take anywhere from a few years to more than ten years, or even decades or centuries.
The more Advanced the Exotic Beast genes fused, the longer the time required.
The Nine-Turn Soul Worm, a rare and Exotic Beast with extremely strong Mental Power, must Advanced genes.
It would be difficult to achieve a large-scale fusion of the Nine-Turn Soul Worm's genes in less than a decade.
From this perspective, the Masked Man and the Hunchbacked Masked Man of the Divine Plant Cult had already begun fusing the genes of the Nine-Turn Soul Worm at least ten years ago.
This demonstrates that the understanding of the Origin Land by the Divine Plant Cult far surpasses that of any power on Earth.
The Earth forces have only just discovered the Nine-Turn Soul Worm, but the Divine Plant Cult has been using it for a long time.
Most members of the sect with any real strength have fused with the Nine-Turn Soul Worm's genes to enhance their Mental Power.
In summary, in terms of knowledge, resources, and foundation, Earth's forces are far inferior to the Heretic Cult sect Divine Plant Cult.
This is a very disheartening fact.
Because Earth's power is not even comparable to that of the Heretic Cult affiliated with the Origin Land, it shows that Earth's power is even less comparable to that of the Origin Land itself.
If it weren't for the protective Boundary Force, the Earth would probably have been completely overrun by the creatures from the Origin Land long ago.
The most critical issue is that the Earth's Boundary Force to suppress the life forms of their Origin Land is, for reasons unknown, gradually weakening year by year.
Given the unfavorable situation on Earth, it's only natural that there are many Human Traitor.
The Human Traitor all felt that the Earth forces had no future, and believed that rather than perish with the Earth forces, they would rather choose to join the Forces of the Origin Land and live as traitors.
Saying it's just a matter of eking out a living might not be quite accurate.
According to the Human Traitor, they are stepping out of darkness to embrace the light and live a more fulfilling life.
After all, returning to the Origin Land allows one to obtain better evolutionary resources, giving them the opportunity to break through the limits of being on Earth and evolve into a higher level of being.
I thought about these things for a while, some things and some things.
Lin Zichen tapped the phone screen a few times.
The total cost was 800 Credit.
I ordered 20 jin (10 kg) of Nine-Turn Soul Worm Meat.
He had already unlocked the Nine-Turn Soul Worm Atlas while he was in the Coastal Forest, and after unlocking it, he obtained the [Higher Spirit] Biological Attribute.
The reason I bought the Nine-Turn Soul Worm Flesh was to further enhance the strength of [Higher Spirit].
The mechanism behind the Biological Attribute of "Survival of the Fittest" is as follows.
Consuming the Life Origin of a certain Exotic Beast can unlock its Exotic Beast, allowing you to obtain Exotic Beast most prominent Biological Attribute.
If you subsequently devour the Life Origin of that Exotic Beast, it will increase the strength of the corresponding Biological Attribute.
After the battle with the Fox-Eared Girl, Lin Zichen realized one thing.
Having physical strength alone, but lacking mental strength, will put you at a significant disadvantage when facing opponents with mental abilities.
To eliminate this weakness, we must focus on strengthening our Mental Power.
Even if we don't turn weaknesses into strengths, we at least shouldn't hold ourselves back.
After buying the Nine-Turn Soul Worm Meat.
Lin Zichen continued browsing the Credit mall.
After wandering around for a few minutes, the Exotic Beast Meat he had never seen before successfully caught his attention.
Product: Dimension Rat Meat.
Price: 100 Credit /jin (approximately 500 grams).
100 Credit per kilogram.
In monetary terms, that's equivalent to over 1 million yuan per kilogram.
So expensive...
Lin Zichen felt the price was a bit off-putting.
However, expensive things naturally have their reasons and value.
Whether it's worth it or not, you'll know after reading the product details.
Thinking it over, Lin Zichen clicked on the product details page to browse.
It took me about ten seconds to read it and I gained a general understanding of this Dimension Rat creature.
Like the Nine-Turn Soul Worm, the Dimension Rat is a new type of Exotic Beast that has only been discovered by humans in recent years.
It looks a lot like a squirrel, and its habits are similar too.
Squirrels like to store food, and so do Dimension Rat.
The only difference is that squirrels generally prefer to store food in places like tree holes.
The Dimension Rat, on the other hand, likes to store food on the sides of its mouth.
An adult Dimension Rat can store food more than a hundred times its own volume in the sides of its mouth.
It felt like there was a bottomless dimensional space inside my mouth, where I could keep stuffing things in.
After reading the product details about the Dimension Rat...
The first four words that came to Lin Zichen's mind were Storage Space.
The Dimension Rat, this Exotic Beast, probably has a Storage Space hidden in its mouth.
Just like the storage bags in cultivation novels, you can stuff a lot of large items into them.
Thinking of Storage Space, Lin Zichen couldn't help but think of the Fox-Eared Girl.
When he faced the Fox-Eared Girl before, he witnessed Fox-Eared Girl conjure an animal skin collar out of thin air.
He thought that the Fox-Eared Girl should possess the kind of storage device he imagined.
For example, storage rings, storage bags, jade pendants for storage, etc.
Or it could simply be Storage Space, a Storage Space located within the Consciousness Sea.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain the scene where the Fox-Eared Girl could conjure up an animal skin collar out of thin air.
After thinking about all this, Lin Zichen's thoughts returned to the Dimension Rat Meat.
Based on his previous experience opening picture albums, he estimated that if he opened the Dimension Rat's picture album, he would most likely obtain a Biological Attribute with storage capabilities.
If that's true, then it will be much more convenient to travel in the future.
You can carry a large amount of supplies with you without worrying about the weight of the supplies affecting your movements.
"100 Credit per pound, you need to accumulate 10,000 Credit to unlock the album."
"It will take a long time to accumulate enough Credit."
"Before that, let's buy a pound of Devour and start a progress bar to mark it."
After thinking it over, Lin Zichen did not hesitate at all and immediately spent 100 Credit to order a pound of Dimension Rat Meat.
Choose your home address for delivery.
If all goes well, it should arrive first thing tomorrow morning.
After placing the order, seeing that it was almost time, Lin Zichen put down his phone and planned to go to sleep.
Just then, Shen Qinghan, who was watching a drama next to him, happily took off her headphones, reached out and patted his arm, laughing, "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, you should watch this drama!"
"There's a lady inside surnamed Shen, and she has a eunuch named Xiao Lin Zi. Their surnames just happen to match ours. What a coincidence, haha!"
Shen Qinghan laughed as she spoke, holding her phone screen up to Lin Zichen's face, completely overjoyed.
Lin Zichen looked at her phone screen and found that it really was as she had said. There was a beautiful empress surnamed Shen and a eunuch named Xiao Lin Zi.
This is too much of a coincidence.
That's absolutely outrageous.
"Xiao Chen, from now on I will be the beautiful and wise Consort Shen, and you will be my personal eunuch, Xiao Lin Zi!"
Shen Qinghan smiled, her bright, peach-blossom eyes crinkling.
Lin Zichen reached out and poked her cheek. "You were just calling me Dad a moment ago, and now you're treating me like your personal eunuch! You disrespectful and unfilial daughter!"
"I won't call you Dad. Every time I do, you say I'm being dirty-minded."
From now on, I'll call you Xiao Lin Zi.
"Little Lin Zi!"
"Little Lin Zi!"
"You are my little Lin Zi!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I am your personal eunuch, Xiao Lin Zi. Tonight, I will commit blasphemy and severely offend you, my high and mighty Empress!"
As Lin Zichen spoke, he pounced on Shen Qinghan and pinned her down on the bed, groping and abusing her.
Shen Qinghan was being bullied to no end. Her two delicate little feet were tightly tensed, and she pleaded for mercy with a look of both discomfort and pleasure, "No, it tickles so much, Daddy, Daddy, I was wrong, please stop."
Lin Zichen didn't stop there; he was determined to defy his superior and bully the stunningly beautiful and resourceful Lady Shen beneath him, so that she would never dare to call him "Little Lin Zi" again.
She must be taught a lesson, to show her what it means when a eunuch gets angry and the empress is exposed!
While the two were joking around.
The Kyoto Li Family.
The Yuan Family Nanjiang.
Machine God Group.
Kyushu Military District Headquarters.
A subterranean Underground Palace located 20,000 meters underground in Shanhai City.
These various powerful forces, all having their leaders within their respective territories, are currently discussing the same matter.
Discuss Lin Zichen's performance in the Special Training Camp.
And the importance that the Divine Plant Cult placed on him.
The Kyoto Li Family.
The current patriarch, Li Changsheng, along with his eldest son, the Capital City genius Li Yijin, his second son Li Moyu, and several other members of the collateral branches of the clan, were gathered at a table discussing Lin Zichen.
"Mo Yu, you said that the Newcomer King in your school has the physical strength of an ordinary Tier 9 cultivator, and can even withstand the mental attacks of Fox Woman of the same level?"
The head of the Li Family looked at his second son Li Moyu, and asked.
Li Moyu with absolute certainty, "It's true, Dad, I'm not exaggerating at all."
"That Lin Zichen is simply a freak."
"He clearly follows the Pure-Blood Human Path, without having fused with any Exotic Beast genes, yet the physical strength he displays is several levels stronger than mine, even though I have fused with the Demon Eye Giant Ape Gene."
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
"..."
After hearing his younger brother's words, Li Yijin frowned and asked, "Is it the blessing of Pure-Blood Human Path, or is he just naturally this strong?"
Li Moyu and said, "I feel it should be about mutual Achievement."
"When university first started, he wasn't as freakish as he is now; I could hold my own against him for a bit."
"He only became this strong after he followed the Pure-Blood Human Path."
"..."
Sitting at the head of the table, the Li Family patriarch fell into deep thought after hearing his second son's words.
The Pure-Blood Human Path has clearly been proven to be a dead end.
How did a top genius emerge out of nowhere, capable of crushing his peers?
Furthermore, why does the Divine Plant Cult value this Pure-Blood Human Path named Lin Zichen so highly?
Is there something special about Pure-Blood Human Path?
It seems I'll have to pay more attention to Pure-Blood Human Path from now on.
Also, that long-abandoned Pure Human Research Institute at Capital University needs to be restarted...
The head of the Li Family thought to himself.
The Yuan Family Nanjiang.
Yuan Dongzhi was sitting with her father, her uncle who was the head of the family, and more than a dozen respected elders discussing Lin Zichen.
When discussing Lin Zichen's performance during special training and the Divine Plant Cult's obsession with him, everyone felt puzzled.
"Toshiba, Chuanwu specializes in the study of Pure-Blood Human Path. You've lived with him for so many years, you should know a lot about the Pure-Blood Human Path, and you should know that it's simply unrealistic to Pure-Blood Human Path. So what's the deal with this Lin Zichen?"
The head of the Yuan Family asked, quite puzzled.
Yuan Dongzhi: "I'm not too sure about that either. I examined his body and didn't find anything particularly unusual."
"I guess it's because he has a very high compatibility with the Blood Tempering Technique, which allows him to achieve twice the results with half the effort when practicing Blood Tempering Technique."
"Thanks to this, he was able to demonstrate the powerful side of Pure-Blood Human Path, shattering our long-held stereotypes about Pure-Blood Human Path."
"..."
After listening for a moment, the head of the Yuan Family asked, "Why does the Divine Plant Cult value him so much?"
Yuan Dongzhi shook her head. "I don't know."
She knew perfectly well what was going on, but she would never say it.
She wouldn't tell anyone, not even her own father, let alone her own uncle.
She felt obligated to keep this secret for Lin Zichen, and at the same time, she knew that this was key to maintaining a good relationship with Lin Zichen.
Building a good relationship with such a genius is ten, a hundred, or even a thousand or ten thousand times more important than building a good relationship with the head of the family.
The head of the Yuan Family asked, "Dongzhi, are you still in contact with Chuanwu privately?"
Yuan Dongzhi: "Occasionally."
The head of the Yuan Family said earnestly, "Here's what you'll do: find some time to invite him over for a meal, have a heart-to-heart talk, and see if you can get back together."
"After all, you two didn't have any real conflict, it would be a shame to divorce."
"If you can get back together, then try your best."
As the head of a large family, he keenly sensed that the Pure-Blood Human Path might not be simple, otherwise the Divine Plant Cult wouldn't have attached so much importance to Lin Zichen.
Now is the time to start investing.
They wanted to invest in the Pure-Blood Human Path and win over Liu Chuanwu, who specialized in researching the Pure-Blood Human Path.
Machine God Group.
Zhang Kai was explaining Lin Zichen's situation to the group's top executive.
The group's top executive listened while looking down at the information about Lin Zichen in his hand.
The data shows that Lin Zichen's Biological Rank is Ordinary Rank 8, and his mental strength is also Ordinary Rank 8.
To possess such strength without fusing with Exotic Beast genes is undeniably a testament to exceptional talent.
However, it wasn't enough for the Divine Plant Cult to value him so much that they were willing to eliminate all the spies they had planted in the Nanjiang Province Military District headquarters over the years, just to take him away at all costs.
The only explanation is that there is a secret among Pure-Blood Human Path.
"Whether it's Lin Zichen or the Pure-Blood Human Path, it seems we'll have to keep a close eye on them from now on..."
The group's top executive looked at the documents in his hand, muttering to himself with a thoughtful expression.
Kyushu Military District Headquarters.
A middle-aged man with graying temples looked down at the files his secretary had just collected.
The file contained all of Lin Zichen's information.
After reviewing the archival materials.
The middle-aged man looked at his secretary beside him and said in a calm, even voice, "Prepare a private jet. He'll be traveling with me to Shanhai University tomorrow."
"Okay, I understand," the secretary nodded.
After saying that, he turned and left the office to arrange a private jet for the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man got up and walked to the French windows, looking in the direction of Shanhai University, and muttered to himself:
"Pure-Blood Human Path?"
"That's interesting..."
At this moment, he was very interested in Lin Zichen, who was following the Pure-Blood Human Path, and wanted to see what kind of existence this genius, who was being targeted by the Divine Plant Cult, really was.
Because he had lived for over a thousand years, he had never seen the Divine Plant Cult value a genius so highly.
The Shanhai City located 20,000 meters underground.
Inside the spacious Underground Palace.
A Clover Masked Man is reporting to a Four-Leaf Clover Masked Man is using a cane:
"First Elder, the operation has failed."
"We couldn't bring Lin Zichen back."
"Furthermore, almost all the Christians who have been planted in the headquarters of the Nanjiang Province Military District over the years have been exposed."
"And... the Ninth Elder is dead."
"From what I understand, he was killed by Yuan Dongzhi."
"..."
The Four-Leaf Clover Masked Man remained unmoved after hearing these words: "Yes, I understand."
After saying that, he looked at the increasingly stable Biological Passage in front of him and said in a hoarse voice, "Once the passage's stability improves after a while, we can try to teleport Advanced Being."
"During this period, all operations outside the area are suspended, including the operation to capture Lin Zichen."
"Right now, we must devote ourselves wholeheartedly to upgrading Biological Passage."
"..."
"We'll be able to teleport Advanced Being soon?"
"Very good!"
"Establishing a foothold on Earth is just around the corner!"
"Shanhai City is already ours!"
"Divine Plant Cult endure forever!"
At this moment, all the members of the Divine Plant Cult in the Underground Palace were extremely excited.
Instead of mourning the Ninth Elder's heroic sacrifice, every believer present celebrated the upcoming upgrade of the Biological Passage.
That night, Lin Zichen's name left a deep impression on the minds of these important figures.
Shen Qinghan, on the other hand, remained completely invisible, still the little nobody who followed Lin Zichen around all day.
